Entry period begins September 28th, 2016 and ends on October 13th, 2016 at 8PM PST. Must be 18 years or older and a legal resident of the United States or Canada. Be sure to check full eligibility requirements, terms and conditions on the giveaway page.

A big thanks to ASUS, CableMod, Thermaltake and OCZ for making this giveaway possible!

I'm looking forward to losing another one of these so much. Now if any staff member feels pity for me that I never win any of these and I'm still using an Athlon X4 760K PM me and hook me up with some stuff. I might even upload a completed build if you ask nicely ;).

That's prety old but better than what I got. Mine is the Intel Baytrail(Desktop) Graphics talking about a solid 1FPS on minecraft shaders, if I'm lucky I stay 1-5FPS or if I'm extremely lucky I can reach 8FPS.

Hello, all as we near the end of the giveaway I would like to thank all of those that have entered as well as provided feedback. It is always great to work on giveaways with great partners like PC PartPicker. Beyond that what really makes it great is it an opportunity for an awesome community of users like yourself here at PC PartPicker as well as PCDIY enthusiasts as a whole to win some pretty sweet hardware while also providing feedback on what you want to see in our products.

Without the engagement, feedback, and passion that exists from PC builders like yourself ASUS would not be where it is now and we would not be able to do giveaways like this. Again thank you and to those that have entered best of luck!

If you have ideas for future giveaways or contests feel free to let me! Additionally, my inbox is always though if you have feedback on features, functionality or design!

Didn't win, but still fun! I've been part of the PCDIY since 2001! I only have 2 personal DIY builds in my time but have over 10 different component builds (Over 20+ just putting a PC together) helping friends, family, and for work. Until next time!

Pity it's another thing that's North America only, which is not the centre of the known universe, despite what some people think. (Nothing against you PCPP though) My GTX 1060 Dual is arriving tomorrow, and by the time the contest ends I will have already got some extentions from CableMod, so if I could enter and somehow won, it would be too late and rather frustating, so maybe its a good thing I can't enter...

I updated the article to mention the region requirement. We love when the contests we help our partners promote can be available world-wide, but it's just not always feasible given the legal requirements involved. Sorry!

Legal and cost reasons. Giving away stuff is surprisingly hard - because many people in the past have abused it to their benefit (i.e. scamming, not giving things away they promised, etc). Thus there are laws that protect people from malicious giveaways. For instance, if you run a giveaway meeting certain criteria even in Rhode Island, you have to register with the secretary of state. Now, multiply that to the unique legal requirements of every country, even every state/province within a country (hi Quebec!) and you've got a contest that takes hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars just to run.

Is anything being done to prevent multiple entries with dummy accounts? This contest has been open for a day and has 36,000+ entries already. Compare that with last spring's MSI giveaway of a full computer (no stats yet on the most recent one) which had a total of fewer than 3,000 entries over the whole span of the contest.

There are 84 possible ways to earn entries, not including the optional items which can be repeated daily. So that's not the number of people entering, but the number of actual entries overall (across all entrants).

As it says on the giveaway page, there are 18 ways to enter and you can unlock 66 more entries. Per the rules, you are not allowed to create multiple entrant accounts, but the giveaway gives lots of optional entry opportunities for each entrant.

I'll have to check with ASUS to know for sure, but my guess is that the ever growing number at the top of the giveaway page is the total entries across all entrants, which on day one could be up to 84 per person.

Dang, saw that there were already 60,000 entries already, then I scroll down and see 'do the above to unlock 66 more chances to win!'. So everyone has about a 100 entries, so most likely still have a 1 in 10,000 chance once all is said and done most likely. Acceptable and I'm on company time to go through all these things to get the entries.

It'd only raise your chances by less than 1%, even just entering for 1 point/entry is practically the same as doing all 84 points once you get up to 1000s of different people entering. If it was just like 100 people entering, then yes doing all these things would significantly increase your chances. Its like the lottery, a person buying a single ticket has the same chance as someone buying 100,000 tickets in the grand scheme of things. At least these entries just cost time, rather than money.

I wish I could win this giveaway, or any PC component giveaway, because I'm currently using a ~$350 Pentium laptop which can't even fit my needs. I really want to build my first GOOD computer, but sadly I have so little chance to win among the thousands of people like me. Sooooooo...Good Luck to all in this giveaway.

i cant follow on twitch and do the things on facebook... it doesent allow me to... i do the one on twitch and it checks off... then i try to do the ones on facebook and they work... but as soon as i get back to the webpage the twitch one is not entered please help

That doesn't make it awkward lol
Awkward would be me staring at you whilst petting my dog, listening to the cataracs and dev kill a track fist bumping with my alternate hand, and mouthing ILY. That, is awkward

As a guy with a low budget who only has a hand-me-down M14xR2 and a wife who sees a desktop nothing but a waste of space especially when we have a working laptop, I would appreciate the more than anything... Oh lordy please let me win this lol

I, sir, feel your pain and I raise a glass to you tonight in hopes that you one day can have the machine of your dreams. My wife literally HATES computers, games, well really anything I spend time with that is not her haha

ASUS pick me. I know nothing (Jon Snow), but dont let all of that fool you. Underneath all of this, Im a smasher waiting to smash, naw mean?
Oh and did I mention: "I make homemade donuts. yep. Say it with me: "Homemade donuts". Let it just ring in your ear a bit. If that doesn't get my foot in the door then perhaps this will: I am friends with Christy Mack, yep the mack attack herself. Just HMU on twitter bros youll see whats up.
So, obviously by now you understand that I am all that is man living a truly one of a kind life and the only thing that could make it any better would clearly be winning this contest...lol JK JK
good luck to everyone :)

Can you guys please make a giveaway to people under 18? I want to enter, but, I cannot. I am 16, and I have a passion for computers, but cannot enter these giveaways. I am not speaking for myself, but for everyone who is under 18.

Thanks for the feedback. This is something we have worked on in the past and it has to do with legal considerations. Rest assured we are looking at options for the future where entries are an option for those under the age of 18.

Ok. Thank you for that response! BTW I LOVE ASUS!!! If only I had money, I would buy the GX800 when it comes out. I just cannot believe how it can have 384KHz audio!!! I make music, and that would DEFINATELY help alot.

Yeah, they think I am addicted to computers, yet I am not failing classes, and my mom hogs our (my family) most powerful laptop: i7-6700HQ, 16GB DDR4 RAM, GTX 965M; overclocked by me. She uses it for word editing. We have another laptop with an SSD and dual core i7-5500U, which is more than capable of doing that. I need to use the 6700HQ laptop, but she "needs" it. Even though I tell her "No you don't you do not need that much power for what you are doing". And she thinks I am addicted (because I have to wait longer cus the games take longer to load because the dual core laptop is a DUAL CORE CPU MOM). Anyways, there you go.

That's a pretty beefy laptop and I see you did build a pc before with a 560 but that's old so I see why you want to upgrade.

I too understand the feeling of parents not knowing of computer knowledge ( not my dad he is good ) my mom knows little and sometimes gets annoying (nothing against her) when trying to talk sense to (my grandfather knows more about computers and windows and he is 81)

Directly via email where they are supplied with an affidavit that must be returned. Once received we proceed with prize fulfillment. This only occurs after review has been completed of the actions completed by the selected winners.

Hang in there! Still a bit more than an hour to go in the entry period. As for the winners, there's not an exact time for the announcement. It should be sometime tomorrow (Oct 14, 2016, PST) once ASUS can confirm the winners.
